This meter that has been being talked about on the list here sounds
interesting, can it be purchased anywhere in Canada?

another few notes on the stalk leads of the meter.
They look a little flimsey but are actually extremely flexible and
tough....mine have been put through the paces, sat on, stepped on chewed on
(no names of guide dogs mentioned of course) dropped and so on and still
maintain good flexibility and don't look like they will give up any time
soon.

That said, the tips of the probes seem as though they could get bent pretty
easily, though mine haven't yet.
They're also unbelievably sharp, the better for testing tiny test points no
doubt.
They could easily double as tatoo tools, or pearcing needles for ears noses
belly buttons excetra hi hi.
The only problem i find is that the sticky texture of the rubber coating the
lead wire tends to cause the 2 leads to get tangled up more easily then not.
I haven't yet changed the batteries in  my meter and i have had it around 9
months or so.  It will auto shut off also after about 30  seconds of non
use.
